GAME ENTRY 6 // "SCHOOL DAZE" // NOV 26 - DEC 2, 2007

Dec 13, 2015 00:00

The string of robberies continues this week, with no real end in sight. Is there a specific importance to the items taken? Or to the mysterious messages left, most often in the form of song lyrics? The police would be investigating it more fully, but given the recent murder they’ve had to send new Deputy JayJay Fischer to deal with the thefts. Uh ( Read more... )

I thought the weekend with Justine was going well. Thanksgiving was nice and on Friday I convinced her that we should drive over to Mystique to do a little shopping (in spite of the crowds). The unspoken agreement was that we buy only for the people around us. So we bought gifts for Adriana, Anthony, and a fold-out bed to put in the extra room, as well as a small tree. Saturday we took in a few movies ( ... )

The sound of rushing water is in my ears. I can’t breathe; there is heaviness in my chest. I can’t move, paralyzed, cold, cold, cold. I’m in the water and I can’t move, I try to flail my arms but I’m trapped. I’m slipping.

I wake with a huge gasp for air. My chest heaves as my mind catches up with me. A dream. My breath returning to normal when I slowly sip the water from the glass on my nightstand. I place the glass back when my phone buzzes at me angrily, as if saying don’t ignore me!!

I pick the phone up and flip the top. One new text message.

How is Cougar Ridge treating you?

My breath quickens again. It’s a joke. Not a funny joke. I look around the room for someone who’s not supposed to be there, but I’m alone.

I get up and look out the window; nothing not even the sun. My breath fogs the window.

I turn back to the bed and find a singular leaf on the pillow. A leaf like from the woods around the town. It’s slightly wet, like it was floating in the river…

It seems I've had to concede the first of the things I wanted in my struggle to keep the Royale. My bosses at the Regis made it clear that it will be made into a two-screen venue. Never mind that operating two screens when my staff is, well, me and my assistant-in-training, but their minds are set. My next plan is to argue to split the Royale's screens, devoting one to first-and-second run releases and the other to revivals. The fact that the Turkey Blow made a profit might work in my favor....but I wonder if I'm going to lose my position as manager, period ( ... )

If it's Monday morning at Jack's Place, I must be out of my mind. Seems like the lyric to a song, but I don't know what. Working up the courage to visit Tom about the missing videotape. Hear Barty say something to Jack about a body found in the river over the weekend ( ... )

I'm up early Monday. This owing mainly to the fact I never really went to sleep last night, being so hung-over from Saturday, but also I have a goal. The house needs all new locks. Whoever got in here didn't break in and that means he had a key or something. I don't care what Officer Doyle said about that being the case in all the robberies. Unless the thief's a ghost--and I won't believe that sober--then he snuck in through one of the doors or windows ( ... )
